A man behind bars for threatening an Omaha family may be having a talk with authorities about several murders... including that of Andrea Kruger. She'd been on her way home from work when she was shot and killed on August 21st.

Nikko Jenkins had just gotten out of jail a month ago after serving nine years for robbery. Sources told Channel 6 News they had been watching Jenkins, due to a possible connection to Kruger's murder.

Sources said the gun used to kill Kruger is the same weapon that was used in two separate Omaha murders in the last few weeks
